Just installed a new computer with ubuntu 10.10. I assign shortkey alt+1 to move workspace left and alt+2 to move workspace right.

When I move workspace the focus application move with me to the new workspace. That is kind of annoying since I usually build up my workspace with mail here, music here, surf here. After sometime with this new "feature/bug" I got application all over the place.

1) How do I turn this off?
2) How do I enable dragging application from one workspace to another.

(Visual effects is set to Normal)

Thanks!

1. Where (and how) exactly did you configure this shortcut?

Compiz plugins have two separate options for moving from a desktop to another, a normal one and then one that moves the active window with you. Sounds like you binded the shortcut to wrong one... ;)

2. In CompizConfig Settings manager, under Desktop Wall/Viewport Switching or Rotate Cube/General (depending on which one you are using) enable the the "Edge Flip Move"-option.

Well, now I feel kinda stupid. I did the change in System -> Preference -> Keyboard shortcuts.

But I just noticed that i had put alt+1 to "Move window one workspace to the left" instead of "Switch to workspace on the left of the current workspace". :lolflag:
